Mondo Games celebrates 25 years of Jurassic Park with new game, The Chaos Gene

Mondo Games is joining the 25 anniversary celebrations for Jurassic Park with the announcement of its newest board game title, Jurassic Park: The Chaos Gene.

The tabletop game will let two to four players take control of different factions in the park while they strive to reach their goals.

Options here include working in the field of science as the head of InGen operations, being a cunning and resourceful raptor as you discover weaknesses in the park’s defence system, to being a guest of John Hammond and simply trying to survive.

The game will make its first appearance at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.

“In our approach to Jurassic Park: The Chaos Gene, we took many of our favourite elements of a traditional dungeon crawl style board game and spliced them with one of our favourite films of all time,” said Mondo Games’ creative director, Luke Byers.

“The goal was to create something truly unique and incredibly fun to play.”

The game will be available this autumn via the Mondo website and n local stores in the US.

The movie is the fifth instalment in the Jurassic Park franchise and reached over $148 million at the box office in its opening weekend, making it the second most successful opening for a Universal film of all time.

Mattel has created a set of The X Files Barbie dolls to mark the milestone of the 20th Century Fox property. The Barbie doll set arrives in the likeness of Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny who took on the characters of Mulder and Scully for the first time in 1993.
